“I saw that NIWH valued a humanistic approach-that emphasizes self awareness and self care-to education, health and mental health that was congruent with the vision and mission of The Center for Mind-Body Medicine. Their focus on whole health and self-care is very much in line with ours and what is very much needed in our healthcare system today,” said James S. Gordon, Founder & Director of The Center for Mind-Body-Medicine.

Donna Nowak, Executive Director and CEO of the American Holistic Medicine Association has this to say about NIWH, “I have been very impressed by the NIWH and its pioneering role in whole person healthcare. Their 30+ year track record of high-quality educational programs, and a mission that is closely aligned with our own, makes the National Institute of Whole Health an ideal partner for AHMA. I respect their commitment to providing the very best evidence-based, scientific curriculums which integrate holistic principals and natural health science. This is a winning combination that is helping transform conventional/allopathic healthcare to a more patient-centered model that recognizes the mind-body-spirit-environment connection.”
